Explanation:

teh insurance expense for the year should be for the months outstanding during 2018 only, thus the unexpired portion should be delcare a prepaid.

July 1st to December 31th: 6 months.

Unexpired insurance:

14,400 x (36 - 6) /36 = 14,400 (30 unexpired month)/36 = 12,000

for depreciation and salaries we record the stated amountsquite self-explanatory

for the note payable we need to record the accrued interest:

principal x rate x time

260,000 x 12% x 2/12 = 5,200

We shoudl accrued revenue for the month expired (December)

4,600 rent for two months:

4,600 / 2 = 2,300 rent for a month
